Kudos to the Midas shop manager for honoring that warranty. That one has to be some sort of record.

I got some NOS seat material from SMS Upholstery and had my upholstery guy replace the center section on the driver's seat bottom. The center seam ripped a couple winters ago when I made the idiotic move of kneeling on the center of the seat to get something in the car. NEVER DO THAT ON A COLD VINYL SEAT!
The NOS material was dated 1975 and matched perfectly. I have around 600 miles on the rebuilt engine now. Still runs a bit warmer than it used to, but eventually it should cool down (by winter time, I guess).

Gramma's Car Won the Year One Wheels!
Talk about a shock! I got a call this afternoon from Year One telling me that I won the contest give-away 17" Ralley Wheels for my Gramma's Firebird. I initially thought it was somebody trying to sell me something, so I almost hung up on him. Turns out I haven't been answering my Facebook notifications so they had to track me down from an old purchase invoice that matched by name.
https://www.facebook.com/yearonemusclecars Now I have to buy some rubber for these rims. Any suggestions? Last edited by njsteve; 11-07-2011 at 06:20 PM. |

Got the tires delivered over the weekend. BFG had a $50 rebate that ended Friday. Discount Tire had an additional $50 discount (which just conveniently happened to cover their "free shipping" which just so happened to boost the price of each tire to match The Tire Rack's price with shipping). I got the BFG 275/40x17 sports.
The car rides nicely, handles great and there is no rubbing whatsoever. Year One definitely got the offset just right to fit the second gen F-body cars. If I had it to do all over again, I'd probably get a taller tire like a 45 series, just to fill the wheelwells a bit more. The 275/40s are 25" tall, a 235/60x15 is 25.5" tall and a stock Polyglas F60x15 is 26". Here is the before shot:  And the after shots:

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
